Mastering Grunt (Video 20)

This video tutorial covers the integration testing approach for Grunt plugins. It explains the setup of Gruntfile configurations for testing, using Mocker Spec format and Chai for assertions. The video details the workflow of integration tests, including task aliases and the importance of cleaning up before running tests. It concludes with a preview of the next video on publishing and releasing Grunt plugins.
